A member asked:

At what point do you take your 6 month old to the paed for nasal congestion?its been two weeks and is becoming thicker and changing colour to greenish. been managing with saline spray and suction . she is eating well and is still happy.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can examine: Babies ages 2-12 months can easily catch colds from other people. If there is just a runny nose, without much fussiness, without any high fever, without other worrisome symptoms, then parents can leave the nose alone. If the mucous is blocking the nose somewhat, try a few drops of saline, followed by gentle suctioning with a suction bulb. A doctor can examine, if it has been 2 weeks already.
